Yes that headline is correct! In order to save money, Topeka, Kansas has chosen to decriminalize domestic violence! With the US economy stagnant and so many more families suffering, domestic violence has increased dramatically. This is the worst environment in which to decide to stop protecting women and children in the home. A woman is abused every 15 seconds in this country, one in four women are abused at some time. And now their abusers have been given a free hand, and their victims no recourse. How abandoned those women must now feel. Their abusers have tried repeatedly to convince them they were worthless, of no value, and now those who have sworn to serve and protect have validated their abusers. Things have deteriorated so badly in this country I hardly recognize it anymore. The welfare of it's citizens, especailly the most vulnerable among us, no longer seems to be a priority. Power and the bottom line seem to be all that matters to the elites and those who do their bidding in this country anymore. What happened to ..."with liberty and justice for all."

Are you kidding?! How can they possibly justify decriminalizing domestic abuse?! They can't. Not to my way of thinking. Everyone who is a victim of such abuse, should make a great deal of noise and force them to make it a criminal offense once again. I wonder if one is allowed to sue those responsible for doing away with the law. Hm, something to look into. There must be something that can be done.
